The pro model does have 4G
It’s 115.88 free ship and has a 13mp camera... better than the iPhone 6 camera.

iPhones are WAY overpriced! you can buy a half dozen of these for the price of the iPhone 6+

The iPhones are made by the same people and use the same mostly Chinese parts.

The iphones are great, that I concede... but the price is too high.

2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz; 3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz; 4G: FDD-LTE Band 1/3/7/20(B1:2100, B3:1800, B7:2600, B20:800MHz)

Uh, no. The phone you're pushing has a plastic case. The iPhone 6 was machined out of a single block of Alluminum alloy 7000. The other parts in the iPhone are not necessarily "Chinese" as you claim. For example, the screens are either LG or Samsung with the Gorilla Glass made by Corning in Kentucky. Many of the chips are either Japanese, Taiwanese, or even made in the USA. The processor is manufactured to Apple's own designs by either Samsung or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Limited. The batteries in Apple iPhones are manufactured in Japan by Sony.

Nor does your phone have a secure OS.

In addition, your phone is NOT assembled by the same assembly lines or the same workers, or to the same stringent engineering standards as Apple's iPhone.

Speaking as an economist, Apple is selling every iPhone it makes for the price it asks to willing buyers. In fact, Apple is still back ordered by about two weeks in meeting demand for the new 4" iPhone SE, which was introduced in February, despite their assembly line running at full speed and a retail price of only $399. Ergo, they are not "over priced."
